Thank you! That sounds delicious! I want to go into the kitchen now and make them, but sleep will win over my stomach. I read the post and I realize that they make "bread" products the same way they do here. It is without any measuring cups or teaspoons, it is all by feeling the dough and they know when it is right. I told my host mom one day that baking...

Hello everybody! I am going to Paris in December for a week. I would like to know if anyone knows how to eat gluten-free in France. Restaurant suggestions are especially appreciated. Thank you

ARCHIVED How To Tell An Itallian Guy "drop Half Your Culture"
SeMeCl replied to raen's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I agree. He has to make the decision, he may not want to because he has no diagnosis and therefore doesn't think anything is wrong. I would however strongly object to his milk proposal if you are that allergic. If he cares he won't bargain with something that makes you so ill. I say be there for him, but don't press it. You asked how someone can so strongly... -
They aren't big on the arepas here but I do have the necessary ingredients (I'm pretty sure). Do you have a recipe? That egg recipe sounds good. I'll have to try that this weekend when I have to/ get to cook for myself.

It is not an issue of not wanting to buy the xanthan gum or other products. I just currently don't have access to them or the pre-made mixes of the US products (at least I haven't seen any).

Hello Everyone. I am trying to enlist the help of some very creative bakers. I do not currently have access to our normal conveniences like 6 different kinds of flour and xanthan/guar gum for baking (I don't even have baking powder.). If anyone knows some bread basics and any recipes I can try with a three flour mix (corn, rice, and I think tapioca?) that...

I wish I could talk to a doctor now and find out if they think further testing is a good idea. Then I would eat gluten, and risk getting sick while I'm not at home, but I would have 2 months of solid gluten in my body (I have been off and on the diet for a while, but have recently been really good) and I would not have to delay testing to get sick at home...

I live in the Denver Metro area, but I am willing to drive to Colorado Springs for a good doctor. My dad lives in the Springs (my hometown WHOO HOO) so I have a place to stay if I need to.

I am talking about a gastrointestinalist, I just feel that I have not been given enough information about my gluten intolerance or Celiac or whatever. I'm trying to figure out if it would at least be a good idea to sit down with someone that knows about Celiac and at least say what they have to say. I know its a little late in the game to consider this (considering...

I wish I could post a picture of this because it was hilarious (as I understand it posting pictures is not allowed.). But on a recent trip to Mendoza, Argentina, I went to the zoo and you will never guess what I came across as one of the animals on display.... GUINEA PIGS!!!! I just thought this was hilarious. Lion, tiger, camel, guinea pigs, sheep,...

MORE COMPLETE, MORE DETAILED, MORE RANTY. (Couldn't edit the other.) I was diagnosed at the age of 15 by my family physician. He took a blood test and told my mom, who told me, to look up gluten on the internet. He said I was mildly gluten intolerant.(He also told me I could eat some gluten.) There was no biopsy because I only learned a year after my diagnosis...

I was diagnosed at the age of 15 by my family physician. He took a blood test and told my family to look up gluten, he said I was mildly gluten intolerant. There was no biopsy because I only learned a year after my diagnosis that this could be important in addition to a blood test. I don't even know what the blood test said to be honest or what was tested...

SeMeCl replied to colorado's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
They just started putting these int the King Sooper's the day I left for Chile! Keep them popular so I can buy them once I get back. Dare I ask...are they super delicious products? -
ARCHIVED Loaf Bread
SeMeCl replied to johna's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
If you have a Whole Foods or Wild Oats nearby (same store) go there! This is by far the best and cheapest bread I've found! It is super delicious too, no toasting needed. I try to buy it fresh, but sometimes I can only get it frozen and have to defrost it in the fridge . It still is the best even when frozedn I just prefer the fresh. Whole Foods also has... -
Hello. I need to buy a new thing of toothpaste and I would like to know which ones are safe. I am currently outside of the country so I can't get the products you can buy in the heath food stores; don't let this discourage you from listing these because in January I will have access to them once again! I do need lists of more mainstream products though like...

I've been using that imagining food as something gross or poison and it has helped me pass up the temptation to eat the item that had gluten. I really did it the last time I glutened myself and I am still feeling the effects, but I'm getting better. I accidentally had gluten after I dedicated myself to resisting temptation, but that had more to do with being...
-
This entry is just a little something about me and where I am right now. I intend this blog to keep myself honest about the gluten-free life and perhaps learn and teach through my journey. I was diagnosed gluten intolerant by my family physician when I was 15 years-old. Before that I was always sick with sinus infections, canker sores, if a virus was...

It is good to hear that I'm not the only one. I really do want to follow the diet and my family is an obstacle. They do have plenty of information, but at the same time believe that I try to be too careful. My mom still thinks that my doctor was right when he said that I am moderately gluten intolerant and can have some gluten. These are my walls. I don't...

I was poorly, but almost certainly correctly diagnosed through a blood test by my family physician.

Does anyone have any suggestions for living gluten free in Chile? I am in Valpara

I have Celiac, but have had very little medical or family support on this area of my life. I would like to know if I should have a doctor or specialist. What do they do for you? What are the benefits? This is a non-issue until I get back to the US in 3 months, but I would still like some answers. (Any suggestions of good doctors in Colorado?)
-
Perhaps I didn't make my question clear. I'm not talking about not caring about getting sick or not "loving myself." I'm not here for my character to be attacked. I just don't see scare tactics as motivation. I just want to get another point of view on what people's motivation is and I don't believe everyone stays away from gluten out of fear. Perhaps...

Hello everyone. I am not new the whole celiac thing, I have been diagnosed for longer than I'd like to admit for what I'm about to say. I try to follow the diet, be good, but always fall into temptation. I don't know if anyone else has experienced the same thing and has suggestions for me. I have heard people say that they don't want to get sick, nor...
